Social media has become integrated with television viewing, as people now often comment on shows they are watching through platforms like Twitter and Facebook. An episode of Game of Thrones generated over 240,000 tweets during its airing alone. TV networks and advertisers are now exploring ways to leverage the second screen experience, such as by creating interactive polls, trivia, or commerce opportunities related to the show. However, traditional television viewing remains important, with over 60% of Belgians watching on a traditional TV set. The future will involve finding the right balance and feedback between traditional and digital platforms to engage fans across multiple devices.
